I know that 4-6 weeks seems like an eternity when you are waiting to get some relief but hang in there. If this isn't the medication for you, there are many others for you to try.
Regarding the "bad mother" thing...I fall into that same mode of thinking when I am horribly depressed. Thoughts such as "I am a horrible mother", "what is this illness doing to my children?", "they would be better off without me", etc., etc., race through my head. This is your depression talking and those thoughts will dissipate as you recover. If anything, you are a stronger person for raising kids and working while battling this illness.
Take care and keep us posted.
